This rich and simple garlic butter steak with parmesan cream sauce is ready in about 30 minutes, making it perfect for a fancy yet easy dinner at home.
Ingredients
Steak Preparation
- 4 pieces ribeye steaks (About 1-inch thick, 8 oz each)
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter divided
- 4 cloves garlic (Minced)
Parmesan Cream Sauce
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (For garnish)
Instructions
Steak Cooking
- Season the ribeye steaks evenly with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the steaks to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.
- Flip the steaks using tongs, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic to the skillet, and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Making the Sauce
- In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the heavy cream, whisking continuously to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet and whisk until the sauce is thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper as needed.
Serving
- Slice the steaks, plate them, and drizzle the Parmesan cream sauce over the top.
- Garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
Let steaks come to room temperature for even cooking. Use a hot skillet for a good sear. For extra depth, add a splash of white wine to the pan before adding the cream.
